Maybe you can try with an API with a sweet JSON response?

I would recommend Metwit weather API.
It's an easy to use fully REST API and it's free to use for many reasonable uses.

Take a look here: http://soup.metwit.com/post/47181933854/an-alternative-to-yahoo-weather-api

Last but not least, you can implement them client-side: 200 request/day (ip based throttling) no authentication required.
The free usage limit is set at 200 requests per IP, each one of your visitors can make request up to 200 times a day!

(Full disclosure: I am a founder of Metwit. Feel free to ask me for further details)
